I remember the first time I had a psychic experience like it was yesterday.
I was lying in my bed, thinking about something totally random…..when the next minute, I suddenly felt my sense of “self” leave my body in a “whoosh”……and before I could think twice, I was floating at the very top of the room, looking down on my physical body like a complete and utter outsider.
Very weird, very strange…..and in many ways, very life changing as well.
Until that moment, I thought all psychic experiences were new age nonsense. The thought that anyone could tell the future, read my mind, or have an out of body experience, much like the one that I had, was complete and utter foolishness.
And yet…….I knew that on that night, in a state of total clarity, for a brief period of time my sense of “me” was NOT physically confined to my body on the bed.
Since that time I’ve had MANY psychic experiences that I once considered impossible, or at least very implausible at a minimum.
I’ve spoken to psychic mediums who have told me information about loved ones who have died that would be IMPOSSIBLE for them to know.
I’ve had dreams that have been powerful and precognitive, and have given me a glimpse of things that had YET to happen, but did soon thereafter none the less.
I’ve had many more out of body and astral travel types of experiences.
I’ve even had a dream visitation where a friend appeared to me on the very night he passed away unexpectedly some 1 thousand miles away……and that was the first time I was 100% sure that what was happening to me, was genuinely real.
Here is the thing…….
As someone who now makes a living writing about psychic and paranormal experiences, I can tell you from first hand experience that I’m still VERY skeptical of most of the stories that are described to me.
I still think that most folks are fibbing a little bit, or exaggerating for attention, or simply want to feel a bit more psychic than they really are. (believe me, I’ve heard hundreds, if not thousands of stories that I’m still reluctant to believe, but of course, they still could be 100% true nonetheless!)
That said, if you THINK you are becoming psychic, or have always been psychic, I encourage you to explore, and immerse yourself in the development of your abilities to the maximum. (even when open minded skeptics like myself, who have HAD many similar experiences, ask you tough questions to test your story)
Far too many people think they are “nuts”, and keep these types of stories to themselves, when in truth, they could do WONDERS for helping other folks wake up to the power, and potential, of a universe that’s far more mysterious than any of us truly know.
(some studies show that 50% of people who lose a loved one will have an “encounter” with that loved one after death…..and yet, very few will actually share the experience with others, out of fear of being labeled crazy, or odd, or just plain dumb!)
The bottom line, for me anyway…..is THIS:
I now believe that the universe, and our place within it, is shrouded in far more mystery, and is full of MUCH more magic, than I ever believed was possible. And to be totally truthful, exploring these worlds has been the greatest adventure, and source of amazing enchantment in my own life, and I wouldn’t trade any of them for the world. (even though some of MY friends and family, still roll their eyes and call me nuts when I talk about them!)
